This toolkit is intended to support states in understanding the landscape of financial activity in the healthcare sector. It identifies opportunities to strengthen a state’s regulatory framework to protect residents from the potential harms associated with financialization. The toolkit provides an overview of trends and a summary of the literature on the impact of financialization on the healthcare delivery system. It also describes recent federal action taken to study and regulate financial activity in the healthcare system and highlights recommendations and state best practices.
